Ti Drop Bar
from $620.00

Pre-Order is Open May 12th. Closing May 26th

Most handlebars inherit shapes and constraints from decades-old production methods.

These don’t. These bars are designed beyond the limitations of traditional manufacturing.

The tight-radius printed corners also maximize usable width on the tops. Your hands land further out on the straight section of the bar, giving better leverage and control while keeping your elbows naturally tucked instead of flaring outward like many traditional drop bar shapes.

For the fourth generation design, we further refined the fit and feel of the printed corners while also making them easier to wrap cleanly with bar tape. We redesigned the butted center section to reduce frontal surface area and improve aerodynamics, while maintaining the same supportive surface across the tops for all-day comfort.

When the road gets rough, the smaller diameter titanium drops introduce a level of compliance that helps erase washboard chatter and trail buzz when descending at speed or attacking through rollers.

Every BTCHN Titanium Drop Bar is made in-house right here in California, bent, welded, and finished by us.
